mile
Marathon's basic unit
A mile is a unit of distance equal to 5,280 feet or about 1.6 kilometers.
It's the standard measure for road distances in the United States and United Kingdom.
Figuratively, a mile suggests great distance or degree: I could see him coming from a mile away, She missed the target by a mile.
To go the extra mile is to make additional effort beyond what's required.
